While Arna can go wide when making token Creatures, youll often be restricted to a small number of Creatures in the games early stages, making it imperative to get some protection up so that you arent left wide open by spot removal

While it's unlikely to stack up against Magic: The Gathering 's new high-level commander brackets, there's still a plethora of interesting combinations and ways to add the thematic card as a fun upgrade to pre-existing decks
This means we can tap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for a bunch of mana, spend one mana to activate Magus of the Candelabra to untap Nykthos, copy the untap ability with Unbound Flourishing, target Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx with the copy as well, and tap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for a bunch of mana two more times
